The story follows a one-time bullied geek who grew up to be a lethal CIA agent (Johnson), coming home for his high school reunion. Claiming to be on a top-secret case, he enlists the help of the former “big man on campus” (Hart), now an accountant who misses his glory days. But before the staid numbers-cruncher realizes what he’s getting into, it’s too late to get out, as his increasingly unpredictable new friend drags him through a world of shoot-outs, double-crosses and espionage that could get them both killed in more ways than he can count.
This will be the first movie to star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart together. And it is not your imagination, but there is quite a size difference between the two. Dwayne is exactly one foot taller than Kevin and weighs over one hundred pounds more!
Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. have been on a hiatus of working together and Central Intelligence will be the first joint-venture between the two after 20 years. The last film they worked together was Twister (1996).
How can you not laugh at the opening of the trailer featuring what Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson would look like 20 years ago. Which sets up the premise of the story how Kevin's character was the popular one and Dwayne's character was the nerdy one, and now the roles have reversed.
Watching the trailer you get the feeling of this is another Ride Along with Kevin Hart playing his typical role of the always yelling scared buddy cop. It does look like this film will bring a lot more action to the screen plus I think the duo of Kevin and Dwayne will bring a better comedic element.
